| Done | Job | Knockdesk | Other vendor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plan heat before the first door: water, shade, and a shorter pack | Knockdesk does not read a heat index. Shorten the unfinished stops in the picker. Optimize when 3 to 25 stops are selected. Done stays done. | Write the water plan on the board. | |
| If the weather makes the doors unsafe, do not start the route | Leave the pack unstarted. There is no weather feed in the product. The shift can stay Clocked In until a route starts. | Your notes | |
| Take a break for heat or weather while you are still clocked in | Take Break and End Break show while you are clocked in and not on a route. That pause is the clock, not a weather alert. | Your notes | |
| If a dog is loose, do not open the gate. Leave that address | Knockdesk does not detect dogs. Leave the stop unfinished, or log only the door you actually reached. A knock not at the door is unverified. | Your notes | |
| Leave a hostile door. Do not stay to argue | Mark Do Not Contact so the pin is off the knock list and out of coverage. The visit you made can still be logged. | Write the address you left. | |
| If a door feels unsafe, leave and log what you actually did | Knockdesk does not ship a safety device. The outcome on the pin is the record of the door you left. | Your notes | |
| Work the turf you were assigned | Field prospecting is Full lockdown, Semi lockdown, or Unrestricted. Full lockdown keeps the knock on pins assigned to that rep. Semi lockdown allows an unassigned place only inside a territory that allows field prospecting. | Your notes | |
| Keep the shift visible while you are out | Clocked In vs Knocking are shift states. A manager can see the state. There is no separate check-in button. | Your notes | |
| Leave Do Not Contact pins off today's knock list | Do Not Contact is off the knock list and out of coverage. Do not add those doors back to fill a pack. | Your notes | |
| Print these door to door safety tips from the browser | Checks stay in this browser. There is no separate PDF file. The same print is your canvassing safety tips for the shift. | Your notes |
